Homework Week 16

June 16th through June 22nd 2025, running!
  • I started my running journey once again, but this time I will take it a bit more seriously. I will take on it as a project that I (may never finish) will put time, money, and effort on. Starting off with 2.2Km 30 minute, 13’ 53” pace walk-run. I will follow Huawei Health 3K AI running plan for now and see how it goes from here.
  • A year ago I also started trying to use bicycle, but I soon realized Bali isn’t made for cycling— Well Bali also wasn’t made for pedestrian. But cycling is even more dangerous here, no bike infrastructure, bike and car running around rule-less-ly, the road was and still is dark. My main problem was that, if I ever got too tired cycling what would I do? Ideally I can use a bus but after asking Trans Metro Dewata, they said it’s not recommended to use their front-mounted bike rack. Ordering a Go-Box is too expensive, yeah. No good option there. But for running/walking, if I ever got tired I can just order a Gojek.
  • ANDDDD, about a week ago just before I decided to run. I also have this idea to use boosted board, a skateboard with motor. But at the end I was against the idea due to how broken the road here in Bali is. I can’t afford being catapulted from my skateboard toward a road with a bunch of speeding car.
  • I ordered a cup of Manuka Americano from Fore Coffee and fell in love with it.
  • Cooked some homemade burger, fail miserably. To alleviate the sour taste it left on my tongue, I bought a frikin expensive burger near my office the next day. The IDR100k ($8) left even more sour taste, and the burger wasn’t even that good.
  • I bought my first ever gold, it wasn’t much but it’s honest work. I ordered it online, picked it up the next day. Unfortunately it was 25 minute ride from my office to the boutique, meaning the roundtrip alone will only left me with 10 minute for the queuing (Yeah I tried to pick it up during lunch break). It was a whole shenanigan that I did, made me 30 minute late to office lol.
  • On the weekend, on the only day I am at home. I brought my grandfather to doctor to check his eyes. He complained to me about his eyes condition deteriorating. We found out he got cataract (it wasn’t that suprising due to his age). We need to do operation, but we first need to get reference from my grandfather assigned primary care unit. A puskesmas. You know what’s funny? Not only Puskesmas closed on the weekend, it is only open for short period of time during the weekday. Why we designed our society like this?
  • Me and my father went for a run, my ankle hurt so much that I wanted to buy a new shoes… an Asics Novablast 5
  • A distant family member will married, and I also help. Against my introverted nature.
